Using amd64 build of apt 0.8.16~exp12ubuntu10.9 on 12.04.2 lts stack with no i386: packages installed both wine & steam installed successfully with no issues or removals.
(tested both separately with same starting position of no i386 packages installed.

The only issue that will come up is that when *running* steam users will get a pop up terminal requesting the install of -
libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 & libgl1-mesa-glx:i386
Probably due to steam when starting running some updater script(s) that only look for those 2 packages??

The terminal can be dismissed & steam then updates/runs fine but if the user accepts the above installs then they'll likely end up with an unbootable install unless they make sure all needed lts-quantal packages are replaced with equivalent non lts ones which won't happen automatically.
This seems beyond the scope of this bug so tagging verification-done (in 12.04.2
